Switching on and off
What the Hectare Mini shows after power-on, which screen and access level it starts with, and when it is safe to switch off.
After the power is switched on, a splash screen with the logo appears. It stays until the panel has found every device connected to it — a few seconds — and then the panel changes to its first working screen.
The logo on the splash screen depends on the supplier of the system and may differ from the picture.
What state the panel starts in
- Access level: Operator. After every power-on the panel is at the Operator level, whatever level was set before. Operator is the only level at which alarm windows are shown, so switching off and on is also the quickest way back to safe working. See Access levels.
- The home screen — with one exception: if the rate control screen was open when the panel was switched off, it opens again. It is the only screen the panel remembers.
- Work paused, on a bench. If speed imitation is switched on and the machine has dispenser motors, the panel starts with product application locked — see Lock application by hand.
The version of the software, the serial number of the panel and its hardware identifier can be read at any time: press “MENU” on the home screen and choose the last item of the main menu. “BACK” or “Close” leaves the window.
Switching off
| What | When it is written |
|---|---|
| Settings, target rates, alarm levels | By themselves, about one and a half seconds after the last change and the last touch of a button. |
| Statistics of the active field | Every five minutes, and a few seconds after the machine stops. |
| Readings of the Seeding table | Never — they belong to the working session and start from zero after every power-on. |
